HEROES CONVENTION was founded in 1982 by Shelton Drum, owner of Charlotte’s Heroes Aren’t Hard To Find comics shop. Since then the convention has become famous for its comics-first and family-friendly atmosphere, where fans can mingle directly with professionals and exhibitors. Boasting an incredible guest list built mainly on reputation and goodwill, HeroesCon is known nationwide as a “must” on the summer schedule, drawing fans, exhibitors, and creators from all over the world to the Charlotte Convention Center.

Avid Bookshop is hosting a book launch for local author and illustrator Joey Weiser‘s final volume in his superb all-ages graphic novel series, MERMIN. The celebration for MAKING WAVES will be Friday, April 28, 2017, from 6:30pm – 7:30pm at the Prince Avenue bookshop. There is no admission charge.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Joey Weiser is the author of the Eisner Award-nominated MERMIN graphic novel series from Oni Press.

He is a graduate of the Savannah College of Art & Design and currently lives in Athens, Georgia.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
The battle between Mer and Atlantis begins! And while Mermin is at his father’s side, the rest of his friends and family are scattered around the battlefield, trying to help in any way they can. Except for Pete, who’s about to stage a jailbreak out of Atlantis with a team of Mer-prisoners! Will they make it to Mer in time to stop the war?

Who is Mermin the merman from Mer? Find out March 6 at the Portland Things From Another World from 4 to 7 p.m. at their Mermin Book One: Fish out of Water signing with Joey Weiser! Celebrate the release of this charming all-ages book from Oni Press, enjoy a complimentary “after-school snack,” and meet writer/artist Joey Weiser (SpongeBob Comics, The Ride Home).

When Pete and his friends find a fish-boy washed up on the beach, their lives are turned upside down! Mermin just escaped the undersea kingdom of Mer, and is ready to have some fun on dry land. But why would this aquatic kid be afraid to swim? Perhaps it has something to do with the fishy pursuers who have followed him from the depths below!

“Mermin is a delightful book that is the best kind of ‘all-ages’ graphic novel: there’s plenty for both adults and children to enjoy,” said TFAW Public Relations Manager Elisabeth Allie. “We’re excited to have Joey Weiser over for a fantastic signing.”

Comics fans of all ages–don’t miss the Mermin signing at the Portland TFAW March 6. Copies of the Mermin hardcover will be available for purchase for $19.99. Parents: please accompany your children to this exciting event!
